Just thought I would say that it was very stupid of Yaesu to discontinue the FTM-350AR before the FTM-400D was available to purchase.

Yaesu FTM-400D

Probably done to prevent canabalizing of sales to the new units by those marking down discontiued older units. I dont do any data modes so its a bit much for a duel band radio for me. The new ft 400 sure looks nice but sounds like another all new digital format forgoing dstar.

Yeah, I don't understand this move from a marketing stand-point, either. For me, Yaesu seems a little lost right now trying to forge a direction. They are introducing two new digital radios without any accompanying repeater support. At the same time, they're retiring a fairly well selling mobile (FTM-350). I wonder if Yaesu is going through some type of internal identity problem as a result of their split from Motorola?
